A character is giving a climactic speech expressing disgust for the actions of another character. It sounds like a stern rebuke, and builds to "I have just one thing to say!" The audience expects a final slap in the face, but instead the character says something entirely positive, revealing the speech to be a put-on. Sometimes the "one thing to say" is, "Gotcha!" A fairly common alternative in children's media is, "Tag! You're it!" Compare Arson Murder And Life Saving and Bait-and-Switch Comment. May be the climactic turn of a Milholland Relationship Moment. |

The Thick of It has an example in one of the very final scenes. Various characters are forced to resign throughout the series, and usually exit with a standard "The Reason You Suck" Speech (deserved or otherwise) or a "fuck you" of some kind to their former allies/enemies, but Malcolm Tucker himself goes with one of these. After his lawyer informs the baying press-pack that his client won't be making a statement, Malcolm then says "No, I want to say something," and looks like he's gearing himself up for one of his trademark rants - but he says, "It doesn't matter," in a tone of voice that is more exhausted than anything else, and walks off without another word. Possibly played with, because in some ways, that is actually the most devastating condemnation of his line of work and the people in it in the series; it perfectly shows the sheer disgust, weariness and contempt he feels for everything, coupled with demonstrating that he knows nothing he would say would make a difference, and he cares so little that he's not even going to try any more, or even bother thinking up a final insult. |

It's something of a running gag in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia that a character making a comment that starts out sounding critical, but which ends as a compliment. One example is Charlie calling out Mac on his frequent use of the word "jabroni." | |

In an episode of Martin, a Malcolm Xerox friend of the group spends the entire time making snide/rude comments to and about Tommy's friend, a white woman. At the end, he approaches, menacingly saying, "I've got something to say to you", as if he's about to say something really mean and racist. She approaches him in the same manner—"I've got something to say to you too", as if she's going to finally tell him off for his rude behavior. . . and they leap into other's arms and start making out. | |

At the end of Waiting..., the new guy Mitch who has never once been allowed to speak a full sentence all bloody day without being interrupted finally snaps, mutes the music, and goes off on an epic rant and calls out pretty much everyone for how obnoxious, stupid, immature, whiny, and idiotic they all are. Then before he leaves he has one more thing to say and calls out someone who never even so much as interacted with him... as a distraction to flash his dick and balls at the room and call them faggots the same way everyone in the restaurant does for fun. | |

Done in the first Rush Hour. This was a subversion, as the captain did not think Carter had done a good job at all, but was merely putting him on so he would accept a humiliating assignment as a supposed reward. |

There was a two-part episode of Pokémon: Advanced Battle, where May competes in a contest to get her fifth ribbon to be able to qualify for the Hoenn Grand Festival, and two of the coordinators she goes up against are named Joshua and Erica, who turn out to be boyfriend-and-girlfriend. In the episode, Joshua and Erica are having some relationship problems, and through most of the episode, Erica thinks that May's trying to steal Joshua from her. When May ends up beating Joshua in a battle and she and Erica make it to the final round of the contest, Erica says this line, followed by an apology—Erica finally realized that May was never trying to steal Joshua from her, and she apologizes for getting so caught up in her jealousy towards May. | |

Doctor Who: "Last of the Time Lords": The Doctor says this word-for-word to the Master. What does he have to say? "I forgive you." "The Stolen Earth" has a variant: Davros gives a speech about their history, while the Doctor responds with "After all this time, after everything we saw, everything we lost, I have only one thing to say to you...Bye!," making it clear he has no personal interest in Davros. This is also an Ironic Echo of his conversation with the Master in the previous season finale, where he was the one trying to get his enemy to stay and talk, who shut him down with the same word. |
